[MD] The Trouble With Wilber

[Krimel]

We could ask the same question about the experiences of scientists during 
experiments. Its no different from any other area of inquiry. We have to 
guard against fraud and abuse in medicine, rocket science or anything else.

[Krimel]
The process of science minimizes the impact of the individual scientist's
personal experience, through replication and peer review. What Wilber
proposes makes the individual experience everything. I would whole heartedly
support research into mysticism along the lines suggested recently where the
Dali Lama's monks were monitored with EEG and MRI equipment. But I don't
think the results are going to make you or Wilber happy. Frankly it is
disappointing that more of this has not been done including similar studies
on Christian monks and faith healers and mathematians etc.
